Open world economy key to recovery amid pandemic

BEIJING－For many foreigners living in China's capital city, the Sanyuanli Market is a unique cure for their homesickness.

With all kinds of imported food products such as French cheese, Maghreb couscous and vegetables popular with Western families, the market meets the needs of foreign residents searching for a taste of home.

The market's success has mainly been attributed to China's opening up in recent decades, during which trade between China and the rest of the world has not only remarkably altered people's lifestyles but also tremendously boosted the global economy.
